Goforth Media short history.
From the beginning Goforth Media Inc. has been a step of faith. WBHY Christian 840 was purchased in 1986 while it was in bankruptcy. The station was off the air and the tower was on the ground.
With 1,000 watts of power, the signal covered Mobile. WBHY received permission from the FCC to increase power to 10,000 watts in October 1987. The increase in power resulted in a wider coverage area and thousands of new listeners.
With WBHY-AM broadcasting programs and talk shows, we knew there was a need to acquire an FM station to broadcast music, a format geared to a younger audience, such as Contemporary Christian Music.
In 1991 this desire became a reality when we applied to the FCC for 88.5 FM and constructed a powerful radio station that would serve the Mobile, AL. and Pensacola, FL area known as POWER 88. In 1992, we began broadcasting and in 1994 began 24/7 services on WBHY-FM.
In 1995 WLPR Solid Gospel 960 went on the air as Goforth media's 3rd full time Christian station. Programming the Southern Music format.

My first real introduction to Christian radio, except for listening to “Southern Gospel” music sometimes, was as a bookkeeper for Mr. Goforth at another radio station. When he left that station and purchased WBHY-AM 840, I found out that he needed a bookkeeper, so I applied for the job and was hired…that was in May of 1986.
It has been a rewarding and exciting experience through the years as I have seen God’s hand in everything that has been accomplished at Goforth Media. God has proved sooo faithful in helping us to be able to do things that was needed to provide Christian programs and music to our listeners. My prayer is that Goforth Media, Inc will continue to grow according to God’s will and plan so that many more souls can be reached with the Gospel Message.
